Re: Alfa wins its first TCR race in the USA

Didn’t realize it was a stock Alfa 1750 with custom headers and an AMG turbo. Impressive to say the least.

While Alfa spends its money on F1 it completely neglects this segment, which is very successful with numerous poles, podiums and wins.

Re: Driveshaft driven Alternator

Duk,

Do you Remember Hans Bjurman had done a transaxle 101 Giulietta with e a starter in the back. I think I should contact him. His son Hugo is racing a 75 24V and is decimating the whole field lol. Fast family,

The engine bay would be very clean if we could do that :D

Driveshaft driven Alternator

G’day,

Has any of you thought about moving the alternator to the clutch housing area? Maybe drive it using a pulley mounted to clutch yoke,.

Re: My rebuild!

Unlike you MD, Jules has this all this figured out already. On the advice of the Greekster he is planning to run an AC ducts into the headlight housing. He can run the headlights until Jesus comes and switches it off himself.

Re: My rebuild!

Sounds good Jules. Interested in the tailshaft. I want a spare and I like a center CV, it should do well with the slight misalignment on most cars.

Re: Coolant dripping

Speaking of coolant, I hope you put anti freeze and your race car engines MD, seeing how chilly it’s been in Queensland.

Re: lithium battery for race car

Hey there MD, you’re a letter short. It’s a W16 from a wrecked Bugatti. But I have to say you were close…… :mrgreen:

lithium battery for race car

For a race car, with a 14-16v lithium battery, Im thinking of completely removing the alternator. I prefer 14 battery but it seems it’s easier to find 16v ones. The car runs best at 14v, not at 12v. I only do short 20 minute sprints at a time. I can recharge the battery with a proper lithium charger...

Re: Squeeeall

Could be caliper pistons not properly retracting or very old brake hoses,
